April Fools! The joke's on us...

April Fool's Day is one of the best day of the year. It's filled with whoopie cushions, lots of tape and other senseless vandalism, all with none of the obligation to do something special for your family or thinking of the dread of some of our other holidays. Most of the jokes played are "no-harm, no-foul" and in the end are pretty darn funny.

Mother Nature is playing a cruel prank on us today with this no-joke April Fools Day snowstorm. And we were finally getting a break from all of the rough snow. Our spirits were starting to lift and we were starting to prepare for all the beauty that spring has to offer!

GFY Mother Nature. GFY.

I'm one of the (fairly) lucky ones who hasn't taken off my snow tires yet. I'm sure that many folks have taken theirs off and cities and towns have taken the plows off of their city trucks.

Luckily for the City of Portland, I've heard that their workers left the plows on the trucks and all 40 plow trucks were out clearing the streets this morning. Don't let this storm ruin your spirit - or heck - put a little more effort into your prank to get your coworker and reap the benefits of a heartfelt smile.
